How do I clean Laundry Pump weekly?

Lock the head and remove the pump from the bottle. Dip the nozzle in a cup of warm water and pump 5 to 6 times to flush residue from the internal tube and nozzle. Shake off excess water, reinstall on the bottle, and unlock. A weekly rinse keeps the nozzle clear of detergent residue and prevents drips and blockages over time.

✓ Three steps

1

Lock and remove. Lock the pump head down and unscrew it from the bottle.

2

Flush in warm water. Dip the dip-tube and nozzle in a cup of warm water and pump 5 to 6 times to flush residue through.

3

Reinstall and unlock. Shake off excess water, screw back onto the bottle, and unlock the head ready for use.

What should I do and avoid for long pump life?

Three habits help Laundry Pump reach its rated lifespan of approximately 3,000 pumps. Rinse the nozzle in warm water weekly. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry place at all times. Lock the head when not in use, especially when travelling. Avoid bleach, alcohol, vinegar concentrates, and strong solvents on the pump. The internal mechanism contains a metal spring and plastic actuator that harsh chemicals can damage. Warm water is all it needs.

✓ Good habits

Rinse the nozzle weekly in warm water. Keep the bottle upright in a cool, dry place and lock the head when not in use or travelling. Regular care helps you reach the approximately 3,000 pumps the mechanism is rated for.

⚠ Avoid

Avoid bleach, alcohol, vinegar concentrates, and strong solvents on the pump. These can damage internal components and shorten its lifespan. Don't force the pump head when pressing either. Warm water is all it needs.

No bleach No solvents No excessive force Warm water only

What if the pump still isn't working?

If Laundry Pump isn't dispensing, prime first by pumping several times. If still stuck, soak the nozzle in warm water for 5 minutes to dissolve any product residue, then re-prime. If the pump is leaking rather than blocked, or if cleaning hasn't restored normal flow, Laundry Pump Head is a universal direct-swap spare that fits every version. No tools needed.

Pump not dispensing?

Prime by pumping several times. Still stuck? Soak the nozzle in warm water for 5 minutes to dissolve residue, then re-prime. Most flow issues come from product residue, not a faulty mechanism.
